Thursday luorning about 1 M Wtwoen 40 and 50 men rode into Dallas, coming over tbe bill north of town and cussing tbe open and covered bridges in front of Henry Ha good's place. Some were on horses, some iu buggies and esrringes and the rent in wagons. From s party who saw them at the covered bridge we learn that when tbe first of the crowd were crossing the covered bridge the rear cud had not croaard the open bridge, which is about 100 yards diidnut from the covered one, thus it can be surmised the body was s solid one, 100 yards long. Hardly a word was nttered, every oue of the party seemed to have received orders to keep their months shut. Wheuerer anylhiug was said or done it was at the command of said cap tain or leader. Oue man with a shotgun was dropped off at this end of the bridge. The party came right up Main street, paus ing Johuuie Uiubardaou aud V. M. OUluam iu front of the hotel. Tliev then proceeded to the northwest corner of the county jail, in the meautiue placing an armed guard at Henry Howe's, oue at the old skaliug, oue at I'ies & Smith's, aud another 100 yards below the jaij. Tbe party dismonuted, tools were thrown out of the wagon, saddle nones lluced on tbe right aud left of the jail, aud the vehicles in f rout of it and a little to tbe left. The jail was then circled by men a few feet apart and about sixty feet from the jail. Each one of the party had a shot gun and some also had revolvers. The party who circled the prison pointed the muzzles of their guns st tne upper windows, aonie oi the parties then smashed in the sash snd glass of the lower right hand window. In side of this window are iron bars about six inches apart. One of these was knocked slightly, cut off with a cold chisel snd bent back. Tbe nut on two more were knocked off. It appears the crowd thought this too slow work, so a heavy instmineut (from tbe mark on the door It looked like tne ena oi a sledge hammer) was placed againat tha key hole of the door and a heavy blow with another sledge struck. This had the effect of bending back the socket that held the bolt of tbe Iocs and tbe door swung open. About eight of them entered. 1 he ground contains nothing bat a furnace and a few odds snd ends. An open stairway leads np tbe west end of the building on the inside to a heavy six-iocb door, which leads to the corridor of the sil (roper, tbe cells being placed ia the smout el lie srper coor witn lbs eomJof ntizz aroou utree sum oi them. The rio!ai t-i Ii sun so 'fc steps to the heavy H.tr a Incitii was lotted. The leader thea tauJ nnoi ssaa l Harry Denewl who wist tiiQ3iX 4Hi I..' LIT to open tbe door. D- Aat at ai-''V him. The work of cutting hss til kry Binges was commenced. after tmCl fell andtr tbe cold chisel. Woee .'un minutes bad elapsed, some one of the party said: O d it. this is too slow; let's blow the bloody thing up." Hut the work oi cutting tne bolts was continued, and in half an hour from the time they first started on the door it was swnne eneu on tbe bolts of the locks Three or four rushed into the corridor with cocked gnus sud jammed the muzzles up to the bresst of Dopew, who by the way bud nn arms on hia oerson. lie was ensured that noihine would be done to him, the lead' er remarking, "We've come for our man and am coino to have him." The keys to tbe ll warn demandsd and Denew hud no on Uon in the matter he banded them over. The ringleader took them, but banded tnoni oacx to Depew saying, ."You have opened the cell before and snow more atiout it than we do snd yon open it now. 1 he ecu aoor was opeued and three or four rushed in snd Hntosed Kellv out of bed into the corridor. "'nrt " . , . , . . t'li (Full account oi now iieuy attempted u am himself while the mob was breaking in tbe door is riven below. One of the crowd see ing a gash In his neck and bis shirt bloody remsrked to Kelty, "Von wasn't uuick nnnoh." meaning that he (Kelty) bad not nnoeaded in killing himself before they sot to him. Kelty was bleeding from three wounds snd bod nothing on bim but his un dershirt snd drawers. A noose was made in anew three-quarter inoh rope snd it placed around his neck cutting Into the bloody gash. He was then led out like a cow to the slsughter, he saying nothing. When the ringleader led the way out of the main door down stairs one of the guards said, 'Have .on sot him?" The leader answered, "yes, Then remsrks were beard on all sides, "Bully," "Good enough," etc. The party hn want from the door towards the rosd nn. nartv aavinct. "Better tie his hands." stop was made juat about where the ditch pirn a and his hands were pinioned behind his bsck with a piece of old rope about two snd one-bolf feet long, ineytncn proceou ed over to under the shadow of a limn of one of the large osks in the court yard, which extends over the fence and sidewalk to near the ceuter of the rosd. Here a oircle wss formed, with Kelty in the middle, every man having bis finger on the trigger of his 5nn. Kelty at this time said, "I want to ie, I don't care to live, but I bote to be hanged by a mob." He repeated this sever al times, snd In a week way, but in a very resolute tone of voice. He was then told that if be had anything to say he bad better say it quick, lie lautu a lew minute uw low for tbe parties who were watching the whole boMness not more than s hundred feet dintaut W hear, lie stopped, tbe end oi the rope was turowu over me uiiio aim im InnWanked "AH nudy?" and wuvii-g an affirmative reply said haul Lua np. K!ty was hauled n about nva iei iron, u,n grounds sud tbe other end of the ropo tied to the fence. Tbe man was not hanged, he was slowly strangled to death. His agony was fesriul, the terrible workings of his body shaking the immense tree to iU top, like as if In s gale oi wiuu. iu m. wmui. muni tions bis drswers came off and when be was let down some time sfter be bad nothing on bat bis short undershirt. So soon ss the rope was tied to the fence the crowd wanted to go, but the ring leader remarked, "No they will be here and cut hisi down in two min utes." After waitiug a few minutes, the blacksmith tools were gathered np aud thrown into a hack, snJ the rest all got ready snd tbe crowd moved down Muin ttreet. being Joined on the way down by the guards. As they filed out of town the way they came not lees than a dozen men saw them as plain as if it bad been daylight. While the crowd was bsnging Kelty, Depew stood ia tbe doorwsy of the jail, not having been told to stay back, but the general actions of ths mob indicated thai it would be the beet thing for him. Tbe parties who entered the corridor of the jail were all masked but one. As soon ss the crowd Mt the spot De paw hastened aronnd to Sheriff Groves' house, being joiued by Harry Coaper who had seen tbe whole proceedings from begin ning tn end from the porch of his house, not more then loo feet from the scene of the bunging. On returning to the snot Depew immediately notified Corouor Kirkpatritk who hastened to the spot snd examined pnlse. Found bim dead. Ills head lay'on his breast aud bis bare body was smeared with blood. The coroner let him down snd carried him into the ground floor of the jail. He found that the left aide of Kelly's neck wss cat and a number of the arteries severed. Ths pos . terior tibial artery of his left foot was cut, ' and there was a cut screes the instep of right foot. The coroner thinks these wonuds alone would have ultimately brought aronnd his death. Sheriff Groves summoned a jury, who after examination of Depew returned a verdict of death by hanging at the hands of 10 unknown nieu at the hour of 3 o'clock of tbe morning of July 7. DKMW XHTXSVrEWED. Tbe following particulars we learn from Depew, who was placed in the jail te wait on Kelty aud keep him from killing himself more than ss a guard; beard a voioe about 1 :30 and looked oat of window and seen horsemen aud vehicles gathering outside. Kelty said, "That is a mob, ain't it Harry t" Depew answered tbst he believed it was. When the lower wiudow was smashed in Kel ty called bim again and said, "Lend me your knife, Harry, I will give it right back to yoo. You cau just stick it thretigh," at the earns time holding out bis hand through the bars. . Depew told him he oould not. By this time tbe party had about got tired working on ths wiudow sud were about to commence on ths. door. Kelty seeing he could not get tbe knife snatched the chimney off the lamp and attempted to cat his throat, but it was too thin. He then grubbed up the bowl of ths lamp sud broke out a piece of glass half as big as a man's hand out of the base of it, which set on a table. With this he cut him self in the neck, in the left foot aud across the instep, snd sat up on the edge of the bed snd tried to bleed himself to death. When tbe mob took him out his clothes and the beddiug were half saturated with blood, ana on ths floor was s large pool of blood, almost s yard square. Depew did not recognize any of the parly. On Thursday morning before seven o'clock the remains ot Oscar M. Kelty were wsshsd snd taken to the undertaking establishment in this city. Geo. Kelty and his uncle ar rived alwut ten o'clock, and the remaiss ot decessed were placed in a haudaome casket. Ladies around town brought flowers, some kind-hearted lady making sn elegant horse shoe of white flowers. Immediately after dinnr the casket aud shell were placed In a hack and followed by several parties in cer riagr, proceeded to McCoy, whers tbe pro cession was largiilysugmented. Ths remains were Inferred iu the Bethel cemetery. A look st deceased when he was tn his coffin dis closed the fact that his features were calm and composed, sud a person to look at them and not knowing Ids terrible fate would bavs said that he died a plvasaut death. The Heme and the Commonplace. Senator Dolph has been in Ban Francisco, snd a lult'iirapbio dispatch from there pur ports to gve sn account of hia trip across the plains into Oregon, when he first cams to (he state. It is se full of errors that evi- deuly it did not emanate from himself. Ben. ator Dolph didn't come to Oregon in 1852, but in lHG'J; be didn't wsik, out came witn , military company and rode a mule, which was no difflouit mode ot locomotion; there " wasn't a particle ot hereism in performing ' t the journey in each circumstances, and no hardship at all. But there are men, and women, too, yet living, wno am waia across the plains many a year before 18G2, and they were not only worn with fatigue and with oare of children, but were confronted by the perils of starvation snd of hoatils Indians, The oases were not infrequent in the early days of immigration wheu the wife buried the husbands on the plains, and ths asms day yoked np her laded oxen and with her little ones resumed ths march alons. And ws bavs sveu seen a widowed mother every thing lost take one child in her arms and another by ths hsnd snd struggle on her lonely way, with hundreds of miles between her snd ber destination. These are instances of heroism that might well he commemorat ed, and they make the commonplace matter of riding a mule across the plains fall sap- plies furnished by the government rsther unheroia. But in jiutioe to Senator Dolph it should be said that hs doesn't regard his (ids across the plains on a mule, under pro tection of a military ooinpsny, as a heroio achievement at all, but just the very hum drum, common sort of thing It actually wss. Portland Telegram. The ex-rebel veterans who have just left ns look pretty cheerful, hearty and well-to-do, although with their state used as the main battleflold, they never have received any peuslons or bounty money of any kind, whereas hundreds of millions have been paid to our volunteers, snd still ths professional soldier politicians smong us sre far from satisfied. Tske the cose of tbe Acton veterans, which has been . st lost carried in triumph, after years of struggle in Courts and Legislatures, over the Governor's veto. Gov.
